General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
evolution | although the active site pocket is lined by identical residues between CYP11B isoforms, most of the divergent residues that confer additional 18-oxidase activity of aldosterone synthase are located in the I-helix, vicinity of the O2 activation path and loops around the H-helix, affecting an egress channel closure required for retaining intermediates in the active site | Homo sapiens |
additional information | a hydrophobic cavity with specific features is associated with corticosteroid recognition, substrate binding mode, overview | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | aldosterone synthase, CYP11B2, is the sole enzyme responsible for the production of aldosterone in humans | Homo sapiens |
